"You put quite a fight for a tame kitty"

"The greatest hunter is one who knows how to wait."

"I suppose. Mousefur sniffed. 'No doubt it'll be up to me to teach them manners. Kits nowadays don't know how to show any respect.Jayfeather's whiskers twitched with amusement.'Don't you believe it, Purdy whispered. 'She was teaching Lilykit and Seedkit how to reach under the wall of the warriors' den and catch stray tails yesterday."

"You can not live with a paw in each world."

"Fireheart tensed, waiting for whatever had hunted down these apprentices to emerge from the trees and attack, but nothing stirred. Feeling as if his legs hardly belonged to him, he sprang down and stumbled across to Swiftpaw.The apprentice lay on his side, his legs splayed out. His black - and - white fur was torn, and his body was covered with dreadful wounds, ripped by teeth far bigger than any cat's. His jaws still snarled and his eyes glared. He was dead, and Fireheart could see that he had died fighting."

"Jaypaw narrowed his eyes. 'I'm not as blind as you think."

"Fire will save the Clan, ' she murmured, and Fireheart remembered the mysterious prophecy that he had heard from his earliest days in ThunderClan. 'You never understood, did you?' Bluestar went on. 'Not even when I gave you your apprentice name, Firepaw. And I doubted it myself, when fire raged through our camp. Yet I see the truth now. Fireheart, you are the fire who will save ThunderClan."

"Destiny isn't a path that any cat follows blindly. It is always a matter of choice, and sometimes the heart speaks loudest."

"This will not be the end of the Clans. As long as I have breath in body, the Clans will be safe."

"Now Darkstripe, ' Graypaw hissed to Firepaw under his breath, 'is neither young, nor pretty."

"More water will flow before we join StarClan. This is not an end. This is a beginning. You will need the courage of a lion to face this journey."

"Oh, Barley. You know me so well. Better than any cat ever has. But there is a secret that I have kept from you without meaning to: I have always been a warrior. I have a loyalty to these cats, and I must fight alongside them, whatever happens."

"Once a friend, always a friend. Why should borders stop that?"

"You speak from your heart, young Firepaw. This will make you a stronger warrior one day.' said LionheartTigerclaw growled. 'Or it might make him give in to kittypet weakness right at the moment of attack"

"I know what it's like to have a power no other cat understands. It's the loneliest feeling in the world."

"Silverstream: You idiot!!! What are you doing in my territory???Graystripe:...Drowning?Silverstream: Can't you do that in your own territory?Graystripe: Ah, but who would rescue me there?"

"Slant narrowed his eyes. 'Do the Clans walk alone into the final battle?Half Moon flattened her ears. 'Never alone! She lifted her chin. 'I will fight alongside Jayfeather.Broken Shadow unsheathed her claws. 'And I will fight alongside my son.'I will fight beside Jagged Lightning and my kits to defeat this darkness. Owl Feather's eyes sparked.Bluestar thrashed her tail. 'And I will die a tenth time to defend ThunderClan!'These cats will never stand alone, Half Moon declared. 'We are with them just as we have always been."

"I wonder if he'll ever see the truth in my own heart: that, whatever Dustpelt says, however much Fireheart breaks the warrior code, I love him more that I could imagine loving any other cat. And if Fireheart knew, would he love me, too? - Sandstorm"

"Why do relationships have to be so complicated?"

"Dovepaw made a mess of the hunting, true. But she ran to help a Clanmate in trouble when she had no idea what danger she would have to face on the other side of that bramble thicket. And when we couldn't get Icecloud out of the hole, she was quick to volunteer to be lowered down to help her, even though no cat really knew what might have been down there."

"Destiny isn't a path any cat follows blindly. It is always a matter of choice, and sometimes the heart speaks loudest. Listen to your heart, because that's where your true destiny lies."

"Fire will save the Clan"

"The only true borders lie between day and night, between life and death, between hope and loss."

"The cats at the edge of the clearing were staring up at the sky, their eyes huge with fear. As he looked upward, Fireheart heard the beating of wings and saw a hawk circling above the trees, its harsh cry drifting on the air. At the same time he realized that one cat had not taken shelter; Snowkit was tumbling and playing in the middle of the open space.'Snowkit!' Speckletail yowled desperately."

"We shall miss Leopardstar. I remember her from all the way back when I was an apprentice in ThunderClan. I always respected her, and, though her loyalty to RiverClan never wavered, she was a leader who understood the importance of keeping every Clan strong. She had the heart, courage, and strength of the mighty cat she was named for."

"Follow your heart! (sppotedleafs motto)"

"Somehow, grief had seemed easier to bear when the skies were dark and a cold wind kept cats and prey inside their nests."

"I have won."

"We will win this battle because we are fighting for our lives and the lives of our Clanmates. Our enemies are already dead. They fight only out of hate and that will be their weakness."

"We have waited long. Learn who to trust. It is heart that knows truth. Don't close eyes and wait for path to choose you. Choose path and follow it."

"Ivypool felt her mouth drop open 'Hollyleaf? But...you you're dead!' 'Obviously not, ' the newcomer replied with an edge to her voice."

"We have to let the Warrior Code rule our hearts. The death of a warrior does not mean victory."

"Brambleclaw turned to Squirrelflight first. 'Will you fight beside me?Their eyes met for a long moment. 'Always, she meowed."

"Great, I get to be told I am dead all over again. - Stomfur"

"Brightpaw's eye opened and she fixed a cloudy gaze on Fireheart.'What happened?' he repeated. 'What did this?'A thin wailing came from Brightpaw, which gradually formed into words. Fireheart stared at her in horror as he made out what she was trying to say.'Pack, pack, ' she whispered. 'Kill, kill."

"Toklo raked his companions with a hard glance. 'Don't risk your own safety.'I bet you'll risk yours, Lusa said, aware once again of how deeply she trusted this bear.'That's what I'm here for, Toklo retorted."

"The time for lies and secrets is over, ' she meowed. 'The truth must come out. Starclan was wrong not to tell you who you were a long time ago."

"Twolegs are mousebrain"

"I know what it's like to lose kits, Oakheart, I wouldn't wish that kind of grief on any cat."

"I'd bet a month of dawn patrols those apprentices had something to do with it, Birchfall meowed. 'Why else would they disappear back to ShadowClan without their mother?Dustpelt let out a snort of amusement. 'I can just picture those three holding Blackstar down until he agreed."

"I'm going to die whatever you do, but I'm not afraid."
